Notes to Financial StatementsMarch 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
(1) Organization
Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on July 26, 2017, as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is comprised of several funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of Goose Hollow Tactical Allocation ETF and Goose Hollow Multi-Strategy Income ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are diversified actively-managed exchange-traded funds. The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of the Funds are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
The Funds included herein are deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of each Fund are used by the investment manager to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown in the statement of operations and the financial highlights for the Funds is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Funds are party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and resources are not allocated to the Funds based on performance measurements. Due to the significance of oversight and their role, the investment advisor is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker for the Funds.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (‘’Cboe’’). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (‘’NAV’’). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, currently 25,000 Shares, called Creation Units (‘’Creation Units’’). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of each Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (‘’Authorized Participants’’). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 14
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Paralel Distributors LLC (the ‘’Distributor’’). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds.
The following is a summary of significant policies consistently followed by each Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (‘’GAAP’’). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘’FASB’’) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 ‘’Financial Services - Investment Companies’’. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuations
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds’ securities. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market as determined using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the execution of these procedures to Goose Hollow Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) as fair value designee. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Funds have the ability to access
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 15
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
• Level 2 – Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 – Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and preferred stocks traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last traded price or official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the fund is primarily traded. Funds and preferred stocks traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last traded price. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at their settlement price on the exchange on which they are traded and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Exchange-traded options contracts are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange for that option as recorded by an approved pricing vendor. If an option is not traded on the valuation date, exchange-traded options are valued at the composite price. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded.
The Funds did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 investments as of March 31, 2025.
The following table summarizes the Funds’ investments, based on their valuation inputs, as of March 31, 2025, while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for the Funds:

B. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities’ gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and dividend expense, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Funds is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on its current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.
The Funds may own shares of ETFs that may invest in real estate investments trusts (‘’REITs’’) and master limited partnerships (‘’MLPs’’), which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs or MLPs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the Funds.
C. Cash
Idle cash may be swept into various interest-bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Goose Hollow Tactical Allocation ETF intends to distribute to its shareholders net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Goose Hollow Multi-Strategy Income ETF intends to distribute to its shareholders net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least semi-annually. The amount
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 17
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
In addition, the Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
E. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a fund are allocated proportionally among all funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis.
F. Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Funds, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Futures Contracts:
The Funds may enter into futures contracts for the purpose of hedging existing portfolio securities or securities they intend to purchase against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest conditions. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Funds recognize an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as variation margin. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities

held by the Funds and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the period ended March 31, 2025 were as follows:

Options Contracts:
Purchased Options – The Funds pay a premium which is included in “Investments, at value” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. When a put option is exercised or closed, premiums paid for purchasing options are offset against proceeds to determine the realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Funds bear the risk of loss of the premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.
Written Options – The Funds receive a premium which is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. The risk associated with writing an option is that the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of an underlying asset and are required to buy or sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price different from the current value.
The gross notional amount of purchased and written options outstanding as of March 31, 2025, and the monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the period ended March 31, 2025 were as follows:

(5) Capital Share Transactions
Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Fund’s specified universe and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The transaction fees for the Funds are listed below:

Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 23

(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Management of the Funds has reviewed the tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including U.S. federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
For the tax year ended September 30, 2024, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the tax year ended September 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
As of tax year ended September 30, 2024, the tax cost of securities, including written options and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:
|
Tax Cost of Securities |
Unrealized Appreciation |

(7) Investment Risks
ETF Risk
The NAV of a fund can fluctuate up or down, and you could lose money investing in the Fund if the prices of the securities owned by the Fund decline. In addition, each Fund may be subject to the following risks: (1) the market price of the Fund’s shares may trade above or below its NAV; (2) an active trading market for the Fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of the Fund’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Market and Geopolitical Risk
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Funds may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
Additional investment risks are outlined in each Fund’s prospectus.
(8) Subsequent Events
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of March 31, 2025.

(i) Portfolio Turnover decreased significantly this year due to the Fund holding higher positions in cash or cash alternatives for a longer period of time than usual due to risk mitigation. As a result, trading activity was reduced dramatically compared to more active periods.

Notes to Financial StatementsMarch 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
(1) Organization
Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on July 26, 2017, as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is comprised of several funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of Mindful Conservative ETF, Adaptive Core ETF, Mohr Sector Nav ETF, and Mohr Company Nav ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are diversified actively-managed exchange-traded funds. The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of the Funds are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Mohr Company Nav ETF commenced operations on September 30,2024.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
The Funds included herein are deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of each Fund are used by the investment manager to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown in the statement of operations and the financial highlights for the Funds is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Funds are party to the expense agreement as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and resources are not allocated to the Funds based on performance measurements. Due to the significance of oversight and their role, the investment adviser is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker for the Funds.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, currently 25,000 Shares, called Creation Units (“Creation Units”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of each
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 20
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Paralel Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuations
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds’ securities. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market as determined using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the execution of these procedures to Retireful, LLC (the “Advisor”), as fair value designee. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
The Trust uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Funds have the ability to access
• Level 2 — Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 — Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Common stocks and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last traded price or official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the fund is primarily traded. Funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last traded price. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Funds did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 investments as of March 31, 2025.
The following table summarizes the Funds’ investments, based on their valuation inputs, as of March 31, 2025, while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for the Funds:

B. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities’ gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and dividend expense, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Funds is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on its current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.
The Funds may own shares of ETFs that may invest in real estate investments trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the Funds.
C. Cash
Idle cash may be swept into various interest-bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders net investment income, if any, at least quarterly and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income if any, at least quarterly and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 23
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
pass-through investments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
In addition, the Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
E. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a fund are allocated proportionally among all funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis.
(3) Investment Advisory and Other Contractual Services
A. Investment Advisory Fees
The Advisor serves as the Funds’ investment advisor pursuant to investment advisory agreements. Subject at all times to the oversight and approval of the Board, the Advisor is responsible for the overall management of the Funds. The Funds pay the Advisor a management fee of 0.70% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, calculated daily and paid monthly.
B. Administration, Custodian, Transfer Agent and Accounting Fees
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. serves as the sub-administrator, fund accountant, and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds pursuant to a Services Agreement. Citibank, N.A. serves as the custodian and transfer agent of the Funds pursuant to a Global Custodial and Agency Services Agreement.
Collaborative Fund Services LLC (“CFS”) serves as the administrator for the Funds and provides the Funds with various administrative services. For these services, the Funds pay CFS an administrative fee that is the greater of an annual minimum fee or an asset-based fee, which scales downward based upon net assets.
C. Distribution and Shareholder Services Fees
Paralel Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Funds’ Shares. The Distributor is compensated by the Advisor in accordance with an ETF Distribution Agreement between the Advisor and the Distributor.
D. Compliance Services
Beacon Compliance Consulting provides compliance services to the Trust and receives a monthly fee paid by the Funds for these services.
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 24
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)

F. General

(5) Capital Share Transactions
Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Fund’s specified universe and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 25

may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The transaction fees for each Fund are listed below:

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind transactions are reflected as a receivable or a payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, there were no unsettled in-kind capital transactions.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Management of the Funds has reviewed the tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including U.S. federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
For the tax year ended September 30, 2024, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the tax year ended September 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

(7) Investment Risks
ETF Risk
The NAV of a fund can fluctuate up or down, and you could lose money investing in the Fund if the prices of the securities owned by the Fund decline. In addition, each Fund may be subject to the following risks; (1) the market price of the Fund’s shares may trade above or below its NAV; (2) an active trading market for the Fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 28
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
(3) trading of the Fund’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Market and Geopolitical Risk
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Funds may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds.It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
Additional investment risks are outlined in each Fund’s prospectus
(8) Concentration of Investments
As of March 31, 2025, the Mohr Sector Nav ETF’s investment in the Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF represented 43.70% of the Fund’s net assets. The financial statements of the Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF can be found by accessing the fund’s website at http://am.gs.com.
(9) Subsequent Events
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of March 31, 2025.

Approval of the Investment Advisory AgreementMarch 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Retireful, LLC
(Mohr Company Nav ETF)
In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) held on August 30, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the approval of an investment advisory agreement between Retireful, LLC d/b/a Mohr Capital Management (“Retireful”) and the Trust, with respect to the Mohr Company Nav ETF (the “Fund”). In considering the approval of the investment advisory agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the approval of the investment advisory agreement between Retireful and the Trust. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the investment advisory agreement on behalf of the Fund and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the approval of the investment advisory agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed the business experience of each of the key persons that would service Mohr Company Nav ETF and noted its familiarity with Retireful as the adviser to Mohr Growth ETF, Adaptive Core ETF, Mohr Sector NAV ETF and Mindful Conservative ETF, each a series of the Trust. The Board commented that Retireful managed over $271.6 million in assets under management as of June 30, 2023. The Board noted that Retireful, among other things, would be responsible for evaluating the investment signals received on behalf of the Fund, determining the placement of orders and trades, conducting investment oversight, and monitoring compliance with the Fund’s prospectus and SAI. The Board acknowledged that, as practice for monitoring compliance, Retireful would input restrictions into the order management system that provides pre-trade warnings that alert Retireful if a potential trade would be out of compliance with the Fund’s stated objective and it would access reports that allow it to monitor any issues that arise post trade. The Board noted that Retireful had no material compliance issues in the past 36 months. The Board reviewed Retireful’s policies regarding the selection of broker-dealers for portfolio transactions, which included a brokerage committee conducting quarterly retrospective reviews of the trading performed in the prior quarter and selection of brokers with expertise in trading funds in adherence to its best execution policies and procedures. The Board confirmed that Retireful had not been the subject
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 31
Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
of any regulatory examinations, material litigation or administrative actions presenting significant issues. The Board noted that Retireful hired a third-party consulting organization that specialized in cybersecurity program management. The Board concluded that Retireful had sufficient quality and depth of personnel and resources to perform its duties under the proposed investment advisory agreement in a manner and at a level that was consistent with the Board’s expectations.
Performance. The Board noted that there was no prior performance for Mohr Company Nav ETF for the Board to evaluate. The Board recalled its experience with Retireful as adviser to the existing Mohr ETFs and recognized that Retireful had the ability to provide satisfactory returns.
Fees and Expenses. The Board discussed the proposed advisory fee of 0.70% and net expense ratio of 1.05%. The Board noted that the advisory fee was lower than and the net expense ratio was higher than the average of the Fund’s peer group identified by Retireful. The Board considered the services to be provided by Retireful, as well as the costs of providing such services, and concluded that the proposed fees were not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board discussed that Retireful anticipated to earn a reasonable profit from its relationship with each of Mohr Company Nav ETF during the first two years. The Board determined that excessive profitability was not an issue for the Funds at this time.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Retireful would realize economies of scale during the initial period of the investment advisory agreement. The Board noted that the proposed fee schedule did not currently provide breakpoints, but that Retireful indicated it was amenable to the discussion of adding breakpoints as the Funds’ assets experienced significant growth. The Board concluded that the absence of breakpoints was acceptable at this time.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Retireful as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that approval of the investment advisory agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its future shareholders.

(a) Commencement of operations.
(b) Calculated based on average shares method.
(c) Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at net asset value. This percentage is not an indication of the performance of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund based on market value due to differences between the market price of the shares and the net asset value per share of the Fund.
(d) Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(e) Annualized for periods less than one year.
(f) Excludes expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests.
(g) If applicable, certain fees were waived and/or reimbursed. If such waivers/reimbursements had not occurred, the ratio would have been as indicated.
(h) Recognition of net investment income by the Fund is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying investment companies in which the Fund invests. The ratio does not include net investment income of the underlying investment companies.
(i) Excludes the impact of in-kind transactions.

(j) Excludes the impact of in-kind transactions.
(k) Portfolio Turnover decreased significantly this year as the variance of municipal bond closed-end funds discount- to-NAV and yield differentials were very low, so therefore tactical rotation for discount-to-NAV capture was less opportunistic during the period.

(1) Organization
Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on July 26, 2017, as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is comprised of several funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of the Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF, Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF, Rareview Systematic Equity ETF, and Review Total Return Bond ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are diversified actively-managed exchange-traded funds. The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of each Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of each Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Rareview Systematic Equity ETF is a commodity pool under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act and its advisor, Rareview Capital, LLC (the “Advisor”), is registered as a commodity pool operator with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
The Funds included herein are deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of each fund are used by the investment manager to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown in the statement of operations and the financial highlights for the Funds is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Funds are party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and resources are not allocated to the Funds based on performance measurements. Due to the significance of oversight and their role, the investment Advisor is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker for the Funds.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, currently 10,000 Shares, called Creation Units (“Creation Units”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 26
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of each Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuations
The Funds hold investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Funds may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Funds’ securities. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market as determined using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the execution of these procedures to the Advisor as fair value designee. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 27
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
The Trust uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Funds have the ability to access
• Level 2 – Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 – Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Shares of closed-end funds, unlike those of open-end investment companies, are not redeemable by the Funds on a daily basis. A closed-end fund’s value increases or decreases due to various factors, including, but not limited to general market conditions, the market’s confidence in the closed-end fund advisor’s ability to generate desired investment returns, and investor confidence in the closed-end fund’s underlying assets. A closed-end fund’s shares that are traded on an exchange may be bought or sold at a market price that is lower or higher than the per-share value of the closed-end fund’s underlying assets; when this occurs, the shares are considered to be traded at a discount or premium, respectively. Common stocks, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last traded price or official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the fund is primarily traded. Funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last traded price. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at their settlement price on the exchange on which they are traded and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Exchange-traded options contracts are valued at the closing price or last sale price on the primary instrument for that option as recorded by an approved pricing service and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. If an option is not traded on the valuation date, exchange-traded options are valued at the composite price. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded.
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 28
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
Fixed income securities, including those with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. In certain countries, market maker prices are used since they are the most representative of the daily trading activity. In the case of certain foreign exchanges, the closing price reported by the exchange (which may sometimes be referred to by the exchange or one or more pricing agents as the “official close” or the “official closing price” or other similar term) will be considered the most recent sale price. Securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked quotes or the last sale price where appropriate; otherwise, fair value will be determined in accordance with fair value procedures approved by the Board.
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
The Funds did not hold any Level 3 investments as of March 31, 2025.
The following table provides the fair value measurement as of March 31, 2025, while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for each Fund:

B. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities’ gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and dividend expense, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Funds is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 30
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on its current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.
The Funds may own shares of ETFs that may invest in real estate investments trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the Funds.
C. Cash
Idle cash may be swept into various interest-bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Rareview Dynamic Fixed Income ETF, Rareview Tax Advantaged Income ETF and Rareview Total Return Bond ETF intend to distribute to their shareholders net investment income, if any, at least monthly. Rareview Systematic Equity ETF intends to distribute to its shareholders net investment income, if any, at least semi-annually. The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders any net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
In addition, the Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
E. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a fund are allocated proportionally among all funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis.
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 31
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
F. Short Sales
The Funds may engage in short sales against the box (i.e., where the Funds own or have an unconditional right to acquire at no additional cost a security substantially similar to the security sold short) for hedging purposes to limit exposure to a possible market decline in the value of their portfolio securities. In a short sale, the Funds sell a borrowed security and have a corresponding obligation to the lender to return the identical security. The Funds may also incur dividend and interest expense on securities sold short. When the Funds engage in a short sale, the Funds record a liability for securities sold short and record an asset equal to the proceeds received. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the securities sold short. To borrow the security, the Funds also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. There were no open short positions as of March 31, 2025.
G. Derivative Instruments:
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Funds, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Futures Contracts:
The Funds may enter into futures contracts for the purpose of hedging existing portfolio securities or securities they intend to purchase against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest conditions. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Funds recognize an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as variation margin. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Funds and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The gross notional amount of futures contracts outstanding as of

Options Contracts:
Purchased Options – The Funds pay a premium which is included in “Investments, at value” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. When a put option is exercised or closed, premiums paid for purchasing options are offset against proceeds to determine the realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Funds bear the risk of loss of the premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.
Written Options – The Funds receive a premium which is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. The risk associated with writing an option is that the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of an underlying asset and are required to buy or sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price different from the current value. As of March 31, 2025, the Funds hold deposits at brokers for written options collateral, which is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The gross notional amount of purchased and written options outstanding as of March 31, 2025, and the monthly average notional amount for these contracts for the period ended March 31, 2025, were as follows:

(5) Capital Share Transactions
Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Fund’s specified universe and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The transaction fees for each Fund are listed below:

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind transactions are reflected as a receivable or a payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of March 31, 2025, there were no unsettled in-kind capital transactions.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Management of the Funds has reviewed the tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including U.S. federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

(7) Investment Risks
ETF Risk
The NAV of a fund can fluctuate up or down, and you could lose money investing in the Fund if the prices of the securities owned by the Fund decline. In addition, each Fund may be subject to the following risks: (1) the market price of the Fund’s shares may trade above or below its NAV; (2) an active trading market for the Fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of the Fund’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Market and Geopolitical Risk
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Funds may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 41
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
Additional investment risks are outlined in each Fund’s prospectus.
(8) Concentration of Investments
As of March 31, 2025, the Rareview Systematic Equity ETF’s investments in Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1, Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF, and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF represented 27.34%, 33.61%, and 48.36% of the Fund’s net assets, respectively. The financial statements of Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 can be found by accessing the fund’s website at https://www.invesco.com/corporate/en/home.html. The financial statements of the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF can be found by accessing the funds’ website at http://www.vanguard.com.
(9) Subsequent Events
Management of the Funds has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of March 31, 2025.
(10) Proxy Voting
Information regarding how the Funds voted proxies related to portfolio securities for the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, as well as a description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies is available without charge, upon request, (i) by calling 1-888-783-8637; (ii) on the Funds’ website at https://rareviewcapital.com/etfs/; and (iii) by referring to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Renewal of the Investment Advisory AgreementMarch 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement between Rareview Capital LLC and the Trust (Rareview Systematic Equity ETF)
In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) held on November 8, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement between Rareview Capital LLC (“Rareview”) and the Trust, with respect to the Rareview Systematic Equity ETF (the “Fund”). In considering the renewal of the investment advisory agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between Rareview and the Trust. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the investment advisory agreement on behalf of the Fund and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the renewal of the investment advisory agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board acknowledged that there were no changes to the key professionals servicing the Fund. The Board reviewed the investment advisory services provided by Rareview, noting that Rareview provided portfolio management services to the Fund. The Board noted that, to monitor compliance, Rareview provided monthly reports regarding compliance with the Fund’s investment limitations, which included reconciliation of statements of custodian positions and items to monitor in the future. The Board reviewed the factors Rareview considered when selecting a broker-dealer to obtain best execution, noting that Rareview implemented an operational framework to monitor the selection of broker-dealers on an ongoing basis. The Board observed that Rareview reported no material compliance issues, material litigation or administrative action, nor any regulatory examinations since the approval of the advisory agreement. The Board concluded that it expected Rareview to continue to provide satisfactory services to the Fund and its shareholders.
Performance. The Board observed that the Fund trailed its benchmark index, MSCI ACWI Index, for the 1-year period ended September 30, 2024, but outperformed the benchmark index since inception. The Board acknowledged that the 1-year underperformance could be attributed to the speed of which the global equity market corrected and recovered. The Board concluded that the performance was acceptable.
Fees and Expenses. The Board observed that the advisory fee with respect to the Fund of 1.10% was above the average of its peer group selected by Rareview,
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 43
Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
but below the high of 1.70%. The Board noted that the advisory fee was below the average of the Morningstar category. The Board observed that the Fund’s net expense ratio of 1.35% was slightly above the average of its peer group but below the high and below the average of the Morningstar category. The Board noted Rareview’s intention to renew the expense limitation agreement for an additional year and concluded that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by Rareview and noted that there was a reasonable profit for Rareview with regard to its management of the Fund. After discussion, the Board determined that excessive profitability was not an issue for Rareview at this time.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale would be realized in connection with the services provided to the Fund by Rareview. The Board noted that there were no breakpoints at this time. The Board discussed Rareview’s position on breakpoints and agreed to continue to monitor the Fund’s asset levels and revisit the matter as the Fund continued to grow.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Rareview as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that approval of the renewal of the investment advisory agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

In connection with the special meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) held on November 14, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the approval of a sub-advisory agreement between Rareview Capital LLC (“Rareview”) and GST Management, LLC dba RegimePilot (“GST”), with respect to the Rareview Systematic Equity ETF (“Systematic Equity ETF”). In considering the approval of the sub-advisory agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the sub-advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the approval of the sub- advisory agreement between Rareview and GST. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the sub-advisory agreement on behalf of Systematic Equity ETF and the weight to be given to each factor considered.

Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 44
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed the background of GST. The Board noted the business experience of the managing member of GST, who was solely responsible for managing the daily operations and providing sub-advisory services to Systematic Equity ETF. The Board observed the services provided by GST, which included the delivery of a complete investment program to the adviser based on its global directional long-short model portfolio. The Board reviewed GST’s practices for monitoring compliance, which included monthly records, as well as daily and monthly monitoring. The Board observed that GST underwent an SEC examination in 2022, and it terminated with no deficiencies noted. The Board noted that GST did not report any compliance issues nor any material litigation or administrative action in the past 36 months. The Board concluded that it could expect GST to provide high quality services to Systematic Equity ETF and its shareholders.
Performance. The Board observed that Systematic Equity ETF trailed its benchmark index, MSCI ACWI Index, for the 1-year period ended September 30, 2024, but outperformed the benchmark index since inception. The Board acknowledged that the 1-year underperformance could be attributed to the speed of which the global equity market corrected and recovered. The Board concluded that the performance was acceptable.
Fees and Expenses. The Board observed that GST’s sub-advisory fee for Systematic Equity ETF included a monthly payment of 50% of the net advisory fee, which was paid by the adviser. The Board noted that Systematic Equity ETF was the only account managed by GST. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by GST for Systematic Equity ETF. The Board observed that GST earned a reasonable profit given the services provided. The Board determined that excessive profitability was not an issue for GST at this time.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether GST would expect realized economies of scale with respect to the sub-advisory services provided to Systematic Equity ETF. The Board agreed that this was primarily an adviser-level issue and should be considered with respect to the overall advisory agreement taking into consideration the impact of the sub-advisory expense. The Board concluded that it was unlikely that GST was benefitting from any material economies of scale.
Conclusion. Having requested such information from GST as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, and with the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that approval of the sub-advisory agreement between Rareview and GST was in the best interests of Systematic Equity ETF and its shareholders.

(b) Calculated based on average shares method.
(c) Realized and unrealized gains per share are balancing amounts necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per share for the period, and may not accord with the aggregate gains and losses in the Statement of Operations due to share transactions for the period.
(d) Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at net asset value. This percentage is not an indication of the performance of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund based on market value due to differences between the market price of the shares and the net asset value per share of the Fund.
(e) Not annualized for periods less than one year.

(g) A reduction in position of a private placement security resulted in an overstated NAV error from September 14, 2021, through February 7, 2022. The impact of the NAV error on Total Return at NAV was (0.07)%.
(h) Annualized for periods less than one year.
(i) If applicable, certain fees were waived and/or reimbursed. If such waivers/reimbursements had not occurred, the ratio would have been as indicated.

Notes to Financial StatementsMarch 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
(1) Organization
Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on July 26, 2017 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is comprised of several funds and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The accompanying financial statements are those of The SPAC and New Issue ETF (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified actively-managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund’s prospectus provides a description of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The assets of the Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
The Fund included herein is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of the Fund is used by the investment manager to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown in the statement of operations and the financial highlights for the Fund is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Fund is party to the expense agreement as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and resources are not allocated to the Fund based on performance measurements. Due to the significance of oversight and their role, the investment advisor is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Fund.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, currently 25,000 Shares, called Creation Units (“Creation Units”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, Shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 12
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuations
The Fund holds investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.
Security values are ordinarily obtained through the use of independent pricing services in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund may use a pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer experienced in such matters to value the Fund’s securities. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market as determined using the fair value procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the execution of these procedures to Tuttle Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) as fair value designee. The fair valuation process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Fund would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. Additional consideration is given to securities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 13
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
The Trust uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Fund’s investments. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access
•Level 2 – Other observable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
•Level 3 – Significant unobservable pricing inputs at the measurement date (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Common stocks, closed-end funds, and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s last traded price or official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the fund is primarily traded. Funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last traded price. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments, based on their valuation inputs, as of March 31, 2025, while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for the Fund:

B. Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities’ gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and dividend expense, less foreign tax withholding, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income from non-U.S. sources received by the Fund is generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes at rates ranging up to 30%. Such withholding taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on gains in investments or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, based on its current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which it invests.
The Fund may own shares of ETFs that may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the Fund.
C. Cash
Idle cash may be swept into various interest-bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the United States federally insured limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., distributions and income received from pass-through investments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
The Fund may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.
In addition, the Fund may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

E. Allocation of Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a fund are allocated proportionally among all funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis.
(3) Investment Advisory and Other Contractual Services
A. Investment Advisory Fees
Tuttle Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”), serves as the Fund’s investment advisor pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. Subject at all times to the oversight and approval of the Board, the Advisor is responsible for the overall management of the Fund. The Fund pays the Advisor a management fee of 0.83% of its average daily net assets, calculated daily and paid monthly.
The Advisor contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, through January 31, 2025 to ensure that Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of any (i) front-end or contingent deferred loads, (ii) brokerage fees and commissions, (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses, (iv) fees and expenses associated with instruments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example options and swap fees and expenses); (v) borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), (vi) taxes, (vii) other fees related to underlying investments, (such as option fees and expenses or swap fees and expenses); or (viii) extraordinary expenses such as litigation (which may include indemnification of Fund officers and trustees or contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the Advisor)) would not exceed 0.95%. This expense limitation agreement was terminated on February 1, 2024. The Advisor retains its right to receive reimbursement of any excess expense payments paid by it pursuant to this expense limitation agreement for three years from the date on which the waiver or reimbursement occurs, if such reimbursement can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits or the expense limits in place at the time of recoupment.
As of March 31, 2025, the Advisor may recoup amounts from the Fund as follows:

E. Treasurer Fees

Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 18
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of the Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated basket of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that Fund’s specified universe and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to cover the transfer and other transactional costs it incurs to issue or redeem Creation Units. The transaction fees for the Fund are listed below:

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind transactions are reflected as a receivable or a payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of March 31, 2025, there were no unsettled in-kind capital transactions.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed the tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including U.S. federal (i.e., all open tax years and the interim tax period since then). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
For the tax year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the tax year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

(7) Investment Risks
ETF Risk
The NAV of a fund can fluctuate up or down, and you could lose money investing in the Fund if the prices of the securities owned by the Fund decline. In addition, the Fund may be subject to the following risks: (1) the market price of the Fund’s shares may trade above or below its NAV; (2) an active trading market for the Fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (3) trading of the Fund’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Market and Geopolitical Risk
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate-change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around
Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information | 21
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)March 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.
SPAC Risk
The Fund invests in SPACs and companies that have completed an IPO. SPACs are companies that may be unseasoned and lack a trading or operational history, a track record of reporting to investors, and widely available research coverage. The Fund may purchase SPACs through an IPO. IPOs are thus often subject to extreme price volatility and speculative trading. These stocks may have above-average price appreciation in connection with the IPO. In addition, IPOs may share similar illiquidity risks of private equity and venture capital. The free float shares held by the public in an IPO are typically a small percentage of the market capitalization. The ownership of many IPOs often includes large holdings by venture capital and private equity investors who seek to sell their shares in the public market in the months following an IPO when shares restricted by lock-up are released, causing greater volatility and possible downward pressure during the time that locked-up shares are released. Public stockholders of SPACs may not be afforded a meaningful opportunity to vote on a proposed initial business combination because certain stockholders, including stockholders affiliated with the management of the SPAC, may have sufficient voting power, and a financial incentive, to approve such a transaction without support from public stockholders. As a result, a SPAC may complete a business combination even though a majority of its public stockholders do not support such a combination. The Fund may invest in vehicles formed by SPAC sponsors to hold founder shares, which may be subject to forfeiture or expire worthless and which generally have less liquidity than SPAC shares issued in an IPO. The Fund may experience material losses as a result of forfeited founder shares or founder shares that expire worthless.
Additional investment risks are outlined in the Fund’s prospectus.

Renewal of the Investment Advisory AgreementMarch 31, 2025 (Unaudited)
Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Tuttle Capital Management LLC
In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Collaborative Investment Series Trust (the “Trust”) held on November 8, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement between Tuttle Capital Management LLC (“TCM”) and the Trust, with respect to The SPAC and New Issue ETF (the “Fund”). In considering the renewal of the investment advisory agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between TCM and the Trust. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the investment advisory agreement on behalf of the Fund and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the renewal of the investment advisory agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board noted that there were no changes to the key personnel servicing the Fund since the last renewal of the advisory agreement. The Board reviewed the investment advisory services provided by TCM, including monitoring and evaluating the marketplace, placing trades and monitoring compliance. The Board reviewed TCM’s practices for monitoring compliance, including the use of reports. The Board observed that TCM selected broker-dealers with the required expertise and in accordance with TCM’s best execution policies and procedures. The Board discussed the completed SEC examination, noting the improvements TCM made as a result of the examination. The Board concluded that it expected TCM to continue to provide satisfactory services to the Fund and its shareholders.
Performance. The Board observed that the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the 1-year period ended September 30, 2024 and since inception with net returns of 3.08% and 0.91%, respectively. The Board acknowledged TCM’s assertion that the related market languished and there was general investor disinterest during the period. The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was acceptable and agreed to continue to monitor performance.
Fees and Expenses. The Board observed that the advisory fee with respect to the Fund of 0.83% was below the average of the peer group identified by TCM and the net expense ratio of 1.89% was above the average of the peer group. The Board concluded that the advisory fee was not unreasonable.

(Unaudited)
Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by TCM and noted that there was a modest profit for TCM with regard to its management of the Fund. After discussion, the Board determined that excessive profitability was not an issue for TCM at this time.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale would be realized in connection with the services provided to the Fund by TCM. The Board noted that the current fee schedule did not currently provide breakpoints. The Board discussed TCM’s position on breakpoints and agreed to continue to monitor the Fund’s asset levels and revisit the matter as the Fund continued to grow.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from TCM as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that approval of the renewal of the investment advisory agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
